Has anyone had success with this pilot credit by including "active" furniture for special needs students? We are including the Physical Therapy room with it's bounce chairs and mini trampolines, and the wobble chairs in the small instruction room (for kids with autism, ADHD). Altogether this furniture far exceeds the 5% of occupants threshold.

I have not tried this, but feel that it could be a valid option. In some schools your number of students would typically greatly exceed the number of staff and so I could see having student-focused items being of more impact than staff-focused. I think you'd have to bases your 5% on the number of students, however, not the number of FTE to be a fair/valid substitution.
